In the world of social media, a tap on the screen can travel faster than the speed of light. This week, the digital world—and especially Indian cricket fans—went into an uproar over a simple Instagram notification. The focus of this viral storm? A talented German-South African creator known as Lieselz became a viral sensation in India after the global cricket star Virat Kohli Reportedly “liked” one of her Instagram photos.
The buzz started when sharp-eyed netizens noticed that Kohli’s verified account was “liking” an alluring photoshoot of Lizzies, which was posted by celebrity photographer Advait Vaidya. In the age of social media, nothing remains hidden for long. Because Kohli is one of the most followed athletes on the planet and rarely interacts with accounts he doesn’t follow, the “like” immediately triggered a wave of memes, screenshots and speculation. While many fans limited it to a simple appreciation for art or a casual “fat-fingered” scroll, the sheer volume of search traffic turned LizLaz into a household name in India overnight.
The moment has sparked a fresh meme storm, with fans remembering the 2025 episode when Kohli liked a post Avneet Kaur and later issued a statement calling it an “accidental algorithmic interaction.”
